Though its popularity in America waned in the last few decades, belly meat (both pork bellies and wild boar bellies) is returning to popularity because of its tremendous succulence when braised, slow roasted or cured and smoked into bacon.

Kurobuta pork bellies (aka Berkshire pork bellies) are from a rare variety of pig that has long been bred in England and Japan for flavor and more marbled meat. The result is some of the finest pork in the world, sometimes referred to as “The Kobe Beef of Pork.”

Store Kurobuta pork bellies in your freezer until you're ready to use them.

For thawing tips, please read Safely Defrosting Frozen Food for Maximum Flavor.

Kurobuta pork bellies can be used in any recipe calling for conventional pork bellies.
They are delicious slow-braised in a rich, flavorful braising liquid, but can also be slow roasted on a bed of your favorite root vegetables.
